Resumen
This essay approaches transitions by tracing the shifting representation of indigenous–authored texts, in both alphabetic and non–alphabetic scripts, in a series of key colonial–era bibliographies, beginning with Antonio de León Pinelo’s Epítome (1629), passing through Andrés González de Barcia’s expanded reedition (1737–38), and culminating in Antonio de Alcedo’s reinvention as a Bibliotheca Americana (1791/1807). By exploring the continuities and disjunctures in inclusion, representation, and classification in this trajectory, we seek to explore how the evolving tradition of the Bibliotheca Americana–a form conceived to accommodate imperially–sanctioned imprints and manuscripts–structured the legibility of indigenous manuscript forms as legitimate modes of knowledge production. It aims to better understand how transitions in bibliographic form enable or foreclose historiographic possibilities, a previously unexplored line of inquiry with implications for our engagement with the legacy of Americanist bibliography in the present.
